Barack Obama’s Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett was on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” earlier, and the affection was palpable:

As Valerie Jarrett came onto the set for her segment that was to follow the commercial break, there was a brief love-in with the MSNBC panel:
Jarrett’s first step is toward the BBC’s Katty Kay. “Hi, there,” Jarrett’s heard whispering as she leans in for a hug and kiss. Kay is “Anchor for BBC World News America in Washington.”
Then the senior White House adviser just as warmly greets Cokie Roberts, a National Public Radio contirbutor.
As the segment heads toward a commercial break, host Joe Scarborough can be heard saying, “Valerie, come give me a hug.”
Isn’t it refreshing to see real professional journalists on the job once in a while? Too bad this wasn’t one of those times.
@weeklystandard ….love fest…..sickening

@weeklystandard a good thing almost nobody watches Mr. Scarborough's club for elite liberal media insiders in the tank for O.

Well, as long as “journalists” is said using the exaggerated finger quotes gesture.

Who needs tough questions when things can just be hugged out?
